Nah this Ravens squad is better than The '19 Ravens, quite easily too. First of all Lamar is multiple times better than he was then, and has better offensive weapons, so those are the major gaps...
There isn't a major gap in defenses but I think this '23 Ravens defense is more of a big play defense, the wow factor in the knack for timely, game-swinging plays is huge with this one...
They lost their 3 games this year by a combined 12 points. Split with Cleveland. The Ravens can be beaten but the team that beats them will have to be able to match their physicality and need the personnel to corral Lamar. That's two MAJOR criteria that most teams won't have...
So the Ravens are rightfully the favorites, but the third criteria is simply something only in their control, chiefly Lamar. His career to this point, he's a Regular Season Guy. It's like Peyton Manning early in his career, different play styles obviously but a similar dynamic. Lamar has not looked like his regular season self in the playoffs, and could be on his way to another MVP which would strengthen the Peyton comp...
This nikka has won 75% of his games (57-19), I have my critiques certainly but this is a Hall trajectory. Yet he's 1-3 in the playoffs and it's not just the losses, it hoe he's looked, he simply doesn't look the part in the postseason...
So if he ever plays up to himself, the Ravens are gonna have a massive edge as most teams can't match the physicality nor have the personnel. Everybody thought the Niners had the personnel yet Lamar repeatedly shyt on Warner, Bosa, Young, and particular Warner who is one if The League's faster and more diverse linebackers, he got put in the spin cycle by Lamar many times. There was a play he thought Lamar was gonna run and let Bateman or someone get behind him on the pass, and there were plays Lamar ran and broke this nikka Warner ankles...
Ravens can be beat with the right matchup, but I doubt an NFC team will do it and if Lamar looks like this in the playoffs it's gonna be super, super challenging...
He's being bitter because someone made this same thread about his Niners.why try to put the jinx on the Ravens ?

No. No one beats the Bills regarding choking. Going 0-4 in the Super Bowl can never be touched. 
Ravens usually do choke in the post season though. So no one would be surprised.

You can't be serious either. The very idea that Baltimore has had more critical injury issues than the Bills or Dolphins is fukking comical. FOH with that nonsenseyou cant be serious
oh ok
but the mainstream media , the suppose odd makers and a so-called experts were just anointing them as the most dominant team in the entire league … so whoever made that thread wasn’t trolling

"Wahhhhh you don't like my Ravens" EXCEPT I actually do like the Ravens ALOT
I still feel like the ravens are the best team when they’re fully healthy and firing on all cylinders
If they faced off tomorrow I’m taking the ravens because they have a defense more than capable of slowing down the niners and an offense that can kill you in a bunch of ways with Lamar as the trigger man
Me last week saying exactly what would happen when San Fran and the Ravens played
, nice try tho. I think the Ravens are so good I bet on them last night and was rewarded. All the talk about the 9ers being unbeatable was absurd and still thought the Ravens were the better team and they went into San Fran's house and proved me right.Maybe you should take a step back and try and see what's going on with other teams.
Looking forward to seeing you boys next week in Baltimore. Hopefully we get something as much fun as the last time we went up there

Regular season. What you trying to compete with the Bills as the regular season champs?Niners were never unbeatable. Ravens or should I say Lamar was 19-1 against the NFC beforehand now is 20-1 & already had expectations so
Fact is Ravens haven't done much in the playoffs for years.
That’s unfortunate. He’s not taking this defeat too well
cool … but you’re still wrong about the injury issue
maybe you just don’t know, but the Ravens have had worse injuries than the Dolphins this season
and for the record I’m not a Ravens fan myself - I just root for the brother with da 8 on his jerz

They got bullied by a bully that is not even a bully from a different neighborhood(AFC)That’s unfortunate. He’s not taking this defeat too well

Ravens are now a top 10 DVOA rated team of all time after 15 games played.
I'm one of the only people on the Coli who probably even knows what DVOA is
